Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298

"Boss Poison, I don’t understand why you’re letting those guys go?"

Xin Badao looked at Tang Ming in confusion: "During the time you were missing and when we were seriously injured, all the families like the Li Family in the provincial city, Sun Family, Qi Family, and in Songlan City, the Yang Family and Ma Family, turned against us. Those traitors should all be killed."

"Killing one or two is fine, but if you really kill them all, society will be thrown into chaos."

Tang Ming smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes, and looked out the window: "Fawning on the powerful is human nature. When I was in high spirits, they depended on me for their own development. Now, relying on the Yang Family and Sun Family for self-preservation is understandable."

"Boss Poison, you’re really too magnanimous."

Xin Badao looked at Tang Ming with admiration.

"It’s not that I’m magnanimous, but after this incident, I’ve come to terms with many things."

Tang Ming smiled faintly, looking at Zhou Jian and Zhou Dafu: "If these people had really always been loyal to me, they would have ended up persecuted like Dafu. If possible, I’d rather you go with the flow. It’s better than coming back to see you ruined beyond recognition."

"Brother Ming, you’ve changed."

Zhou Dafu, after a moment of silence, gazed at Tang Ming with a complicated expression.

Tang Ming smiled, stood up slowly, and said with a chilling air: "Today is just an appetizer; the real show will be in three days. Before then, you must help me retrieve everything we lost."

"Please instruct us."

Xin Badao and Chu Batian stepped forward excitedly and shouted.

"Chen Cang has already gone to the provincial city to rescue Liu Tianqi, preparing to retake the Songhai City Martial Arts Inspection Team office. You guys should also keep busy."

Tang Ming narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Immediately lead the Poison Sect and Flowing Cloud Sect’s forces to attack the bases that were taken by the Ming Group. Within three days, take back all the territories and industries lost in West Sea Province."

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

"In addition, during the current operations, try not to expose my information. Without Sun Zhuangjia’s involvement, you are fully capable of solving these problems yourself."

Tang Ming thought for a while and smiled as he looked out the window: "Three days later, I’ll personally go meet Sun Zhuangjia."

"Do you have any other instructions?"

Xin Badao and Chu Batian inquired uncertainly.

"No... wait a moment."

Tang Ming hesitated for a bit and said blandly: "After you reclaim the industries and bases from the Ming Group, don’t use the name of the Dark Group anymore; take them directly in the name of the Poison Sect."

Xin Badao looked at Tang Ming in puzzlement.

"I am fed up with the struggles between the Ming Group and the Dark Group, and I am also tired of the disputes among the large families. From now on, we will establish our own base."

Tang Ming announced, his eyes sparkling.

Upon hearing this, Xin Badao and Chu Batian were ecstatic. Although their previous positions were not low, they were ultimately under the banner of the Dark Group, restricted by it, and lacked protection as well.

Take the incident of Tang Ming’s disappearance, for instance. The Dark Group and its factions were only concerned with self-preservation, and didn’t care about the safety of Tang Ming’s forces and loved ones at all. It was thoroughly displeasing.

"You go ahead with your tasks; I’m going to meet the boss here."

Tang Ming waved his hand, then left the private room and took the elevator to the general manager’s office of the Jun Tianhao Hotel.

Without knocking, Tang Ming barged directly into the office and saw Mo Hongsheng sitting on the sofa brewing tea.

"Just in time, freshly brewed good tea."

Mo Hongsheng bowed his head to pour tea and invited with a smile.

"You knew I would come?"

Tang Ming slightly furrowed his brow, sat opposite Mo Hongsheng, and looked meaningfully at this excessively handsome man.

"It’s hard not to know with such a big commotion downstairs."

Mo Hongsheng smiled: "With the guts of Zhou Dafu and the others, they definitely wouldn’t dare make such a bold move without someone backing them, and there’s only one person who could support them."

Tang Ming knowingly asked.

"Should I call you Tang Xin, or should I address you as Tang Ming?"

Mo Hongsheng raised his head and looked at Tang Ming with a quirky expression.

"You really can’t hide anything from you."

Tang Ming touched his chin and candidly admitted: "I am Tang Ming."

"Heh, you’re truly an unpredictable guy. Falling into the hands of the Medicine Sect, not only didn’t you die but also regained your cultivation. Impressive, impressive."

Mo Hongsheng smiled faintly, full of admiration.

"The Mo Family is truly born for intelligence gathering, I’m impressed."

Tang Ming pouted in displeasure. In front of Mo Hongsheng, he felt as if he were transparent, and this feeling of being seen through was extremely unpleasant.

"Let’s not flatter each other. I know you came to me for two things. Let’s see if I’m right?"

Mo Hongsheng handed a cup of tea to Tang Ming, looking at him with great interest.

Tang Ming was also intrigued.

"The first thing, you must have learned some secrets from the Medicine Sect, and it seems the Mo Family is also involved. So you want to use me to gather intelligence, right?"

Mo Hongsheng looked at Tang Ming confidently.

Tang Ming couldn’t deny it and nodded. Indeed, he came this time to find out what the relationship between Mo Hongsheng and Nangong Tianyue was.

He had heard before from Mo Liuye that the Mo Family also had connections with the Hidden World Mo Family, which made the issue a significant research topic.

"Since I’m right, I’ll tell you my answer. The Mo Family in Songlan City is indeed an offshoot developed by the Hidden World Family, mainly responsible for establishing an intelligence system, but with my role and status, I can only act on orders. Regarding the specific reasons and content, I have nothing to disclose."

Mo Hongsheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said calmly: "Before this, I didn’t even know that the Medicine Sect and the Hidden World Mo Family were connected."

Tang Ming opened his mouth and after careful consideration understood that what Mo Hongsheng said was true. After all, compared to the Hidden World Mo Family, the Mo Family in Songlan City was too small, and the level they could reach was extremely limited.

"The second thing you came for should be regarding the Jun Tianhao Hotel."

Mo Hongsheng continued, speaking leisurely: "I currently control half of the Jun Tianhao Hotel’s shares. I bought these with real money from the Chen Family. If you want them back, you’ll at least have to give me a sufficient reason, otherwise... sorry."

Tang Ming hesitated to speak, wanting to say if you don’t give it to me, I’ll take it from you, but in front of Mo Hongsheng, he just couldn’t bring himself to say such thug-like words.

"Of course, the other half of the Jun Tianhao Hotel’s shares is in the hands of the Ming Group. If you have the ability to take them back, I don’t mind doing business with you."

Mo Hongsheng suddenly laughed and said seriously: "After all, I am ultimately a businessman. As long as we can make money, I don’t mind joining forces with you, but..."
